Keep the ideas flowing in

February 2, 2011

A survey of pier users and an on-line questionnaire about the harbour’s future has met with an enthusiastic response from participants. The survey asked how pier users would prioritise aspects of the harbour’s activity under a number of different headings including:

tourism,

marine leisure,

heritage conservation,

environment.

Findings from the survey will form part of the feedback from the extensive consultation process currently being undertaken by the Harbour Company as it prepares a draft masterplan for the Harbour area to secure the Harbour’s future and to create essential revenue streams.

The draft masterplan will also address the changing emphasis of Dún Laoghaire Harbour from a commercial harbour to a recreational harbour and the impact of the change of Stena ferry sailings on the Dún Laoghaire – Holyhead route.

The Harbour Company and the Project Team drawing up the Harbour Draft Masterplan are interested in hearing from everyone with ideas about the future of the harbour. All ideas received will be carefully considered and will provide a valuable context for the draft masterplan.
